I wrote this poem in 1967. I am finally creating multiple art projects from my archives.
Once I was among a group
Let’s call them great
I was queen, there was no hate
We began our journey
We know not where
On and on we did not care
Leo is sweet and kind
He is the one so blind
He stands tall among all men
You can bet joe will win
His hair is dusty blonde
Bleached out by the sun
His eyes are deep dark blue
They tell no lies, only truth
He loves, he sings a lot
He believes in the creator and shares a lot
Bobby is understanding tis so
Watch the wind blow
He stands by among us now
Knowing not but when and how
How we live, how we believe
His brown eyes are shiny
His black pupils are so tiny
On the bright time of the year
There was no one here
In the dark came a car
They came to my horror
On their search for tomorrow
They came together to follow a star
They are fools, that’s what they are
One has brown hair and eyes
His eyes show his truth and lies
He loves with all his heart
Tells his true love they’ll never part
He is not very tall
In fact, he’s quite small
He will be a friend
He will last to the end
Tomorrow he will remember when
His true love has eyes of blue
She loves him so true
Her long black hair falls without a care
His brown hair hangs down
He holds his head off the ground
Queenie is the girl among the world
Her big blue eyes are looking at you
Her blue eyes cloud when she is blue
Queenie comes along side by side
She walks with us caring her pride
Our first stop is the clouds
Cloud no 9 is our first stop on this trip
Look over yonder lies the big dip
The moon looks good shining in the sky
It seems so close we could almost be unalive
Where do we go
We don’t know
Only the creator does know
We ride in our rocket ship
On this maddening trip
Over the moon,
Over the sun
Over the clouds
Away from the maddening crowds
Look. There stands a tree
As she dreams of the love they share
She loves people to be in search of tomorrow
She will be your friend
They start in the night
They begin out of sight
Their hopes are all in the heart
No, they will never part
On they travel over the moon
Must they land so soon
The night is dark as black
So, they look back
Where is tomorrow in time
Time flies and the bells chime
They are together but the search is still on
Today is here, tomorrow gone
They begin their life anew
The sky shines a bright blue
Their car drives on the road home
